That model is not available in my country bro, I have calculated watts that my computer using it's near 250 watts with gtx 750 ti and my total watts is 365 but I don't think it's correct maybe because I have calculated watts for the first time. And about 6 pin, I can buy molex to 6 pin connector. And gtx 750 ti requires 5 amps .Thanks for replying!

adapters are 99% of the time very bad ideas
can you get a low profile version of the 750 ti or low profile 950?
or even better a new psu

never use adapters with crap power supplies

any model will work as long as it does not need an additional 6-pin power connector, that was just an example

nope no low profile gtx 750 ti available in my country and i have calculated my psu watts and usage, in case of watts= volts x amps and my watts are 511.48 using this method, about usage its 251w with gtx 750ti.

Do not assume that your power supply can provide the needed 365w total output. Especially if it's a few years old. A typical power supply can lose quite a bit of it's output as the capacitors inside age. The typical "heavy usage"/"old age" scenario assumes over 20-40% of output lost. I'd personally recommend upgrading the PSU before considering a GPU upgrade.

A simple Volts x Amps = Watts equation does not take in to account the internal limits of the power supply. On the label it states that the combined power of the 5V and 3.3V should never exceed 160w and the total output should never exceed 365w. Assuming a worst case scenario, you're left with ~205w. The "+12V" rail supplying power to the components (hard drives, cd drives, lights) and should be capable of <144w. The "CPU" +12v rail is capable of providing <174w. Given that this amount is used to power the CPU, motherboard, and motherboard-powered components (including GPU) you must determine if it is providing enough. The GTX 750 Ti will need <75w at full load on it's own. Factor in the motherboard requiring <=30w (Greatly depends on components and motherboard, could climb to as much as 200w) and the CPU using ~65w. This leaves you with ~79w overhead for the GPU. This should be just barely within the limits of the PSU.

The only issue is the age of the PSU. This system appears to be quite old (judging by the parts) and that age may become a problem. To be on the safe side I have to say: No, your PSU cannot run a GTX 750 Ti.

I didn't have that much stuff check again with compete specs :

PSU: hp 365 watts ,+5.08V 19a,+3.33V 24a,+12V 12a,+5.08V AUX 3a,-12V 0.15a,+12V cpu 14.5
Cpu: core 2 duo e8500 3.16ghz, usage : 65w max
Motherboard: hp 3032h, usage : maybe 30w max
Ram : 6gb ddr2, usage : ?w
HD Audio device : gets power from its plug usage : no psu power required.
Standard mouse and keyboard, Usage : ?w
Hard drive : 160gb hdd, interface sata, usage : ?w
DVD Rom, usage : ?w
Fans : 1 cup heat sink fan and other one is for cooling, usage : ?w

No other stuff available.

And about the age I will say old is gold!
For prove I have a 30 years used air cooler but it still works excellent just like new, prove 2 : I have a 20 years old tv too but it's graphics is better than Samsung led!

And thanks for replying. 😉

Like I said, you're just barely within the output that the PSU is capable of if you include a GTX 750 Ti that has no extra power connections. I made some assumptions about your components and you've basically confirmed them with your recent post as well as the pictures. You can try it but don't be surprised if you have to replace the PSU eventually.

Also, the comparisons of old electronics still operating are irrelevant. The only way you can know if I'm right is if you hook up a volt-ohmmeter and oscilloscope to the output leads of the PSU and provide a load for it. Using this equipment you'd be able to determine if the PSU is operating properly. My guess is that, given it's age and the component quality, it is not operating quite as well as it did new. This slight variance in output could be enough to cause it to fail or kill the components attached to it.

I don't want to bore you with the details but suffice it to say that I don't feel comfortable stating that your PSU can handle the GTX 750 Ti. On paper it can, but in reality I'm uncertain. This is why I do not recommend you purchase it. Although, if you replace the PSU with a new 400w then I would happily recommend it!

Ambitious.

First of all I think it can run on my psu and second of all didn't have so much money because I have to buy 2 sticks of 2gb ram and gtx 750 ti with molex to 6 pin connector. But I will still try to get a new psu. I'm looking at a 480watts psu have 18a on 12v but it is old psu too unfortunately thing in my country comes 5 to 9 months after the original release. 🙁
